i had been losing weight up until i sought out yasmin. i think this would happen with most any birth control, according to my body's reaction to it. i gained about 5 pounds in two weeks. it is very frustrating, but it is important to keep active and eating right and the weight can be lost....perhaps slowly...
i don't mind the weight gain so much because it really has done wonders for my skin (still have the break-outs during my period), for the hair, etc.
as for depression, i found mood swings to be terrible in the first week, but after that it seemed to simmer down. a few weeks later, i started to take zoloft to help deal with/prevent future constant mood changes (you might know this already, but it is also used to treat PMS). it helps.
good luck |
